[Verse 1] A C#m/G# Dear Theodosia, how to say to you F#m Dmaj7 Sometime last night, your mother breathed your name A C#m/G# And like a flame that flickers out too soon, she died F#m Dm She’s gone [Verse 2] A C#m/G# She dedicated every day to you F#m Dmaj7 She changed my life, she made my life worthwhile A And when you smile C#m/G# F#m I know a part of her lives on D I know I can go on
[Chorus] A C#m/G# You have come of age with our young nation F#m We bleed and fight for you Dmaj7 Sometimes it seems that's all we do A C#m/G# And you and I will build a strong foundation F#m And I'll be here for you Dmaj7 A The way is clear for you to blow us all away A C#m/G# F#m (D) A Someday, someday, yeah you'll blow us all away C#m/G# F#m
